I am a prisoner of the words in my head
I start to speak,
But the words betray me.
Afraid of what they might do.
Afraid that the words will
Expose me.
Expose my mind.
Leave me
Vulnerable.
I am a prisoner of the words in my head.
I start to speak
But I say something else.
Afraid that you will see my words
For what they really are.
Not just words.
But me.
Me in a way you've never seen before.
Me, in all my fear,
In all my weakness.
Me, open.
Not hiding under the shield that is silence,
Not hiding under blank expressions.
Cause you see, even my expressions betray me.
I am a prisoner of the words in my head.
Afraid to speak,
yet writing this for you to see.

Afraid to speak,
yet reading these words and reading it again.
sometimes silence is golden
and sometimes it's not
pray for the wisdom to know the difference
